Actor Anthony Mackie, who is essaying the role of Falcon in the "Captain America: Civil War", said the film is about a "family dispute".
The 36-year-old actor was present with Chris Evans at the preview of the first footage from the film and said the movie features a conflict between two superheroes who are like brothers, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Nah, it's not MMA. We definitely have gloves on. It's more a family dispute, and that's what so great about this movie and the characters and how they work together," Mackie said.
The upcoming movie will see the split between the team of Marvel Superhero over human registration.
"It's more so when you have a sibling rivalry. The reason why people can relate to these characters so much, is because they can relate to what they're going through. Everybody's fought with one of their siblings or one of their friends and wanted to make up with them but couldn't figure out how to do it," he added.
Chris Evans who plays Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe agreed with Mackie.
"Well said. I feel like families - you have more struggles with the people you love (because) you care about them. You can't leave them, you have to make this work. If it's someone you can cut out of your life, no problem. You may not get along, but you can't just cut them out of your life," he said.
Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, the superhero movie features some big characters such as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner.
Introducing Black Panther and the new Spider-Man, "Captain America: Civil War" will hit the theatres in May, 2016.
